So you are the slimy, treacherous Senate
Republican-In-Name-Only who is opportunistically attempting to
override the Bill of Rights, the highest law of the land, and the
only thing that makes America “exceptional”, to enact new
victim disarmament measures, even though you and your criminal
accomplices among both parties—including that unutterable
harridan, Diane Feinstein, one of the few women who makes Hillary
Clinton seem human—know perfectly well that absolutely nothing
has been proposed (and no gun law presently exists) that could have
stopped any of the recent atrocities in Las Vegas and Texas.

All that you can accomplish is to pass the modern
equivalent of “Jim Crow” laws, which your grandparents
cruelly imposed on people less powerful than they were, simply to
make it harder for those they hated—blacks in their case,
Productive Class Americans in yours—to live their everyday
lives. “The more things change, the more they stay the
same”, right, Senator?

Gabby Giffords wants to ban single-shot
muzzle-loaders, for some strange, unexplained reason (the ATF
doesn’t even regard them as guns) and doesn’t seem to
understand that fifty caliber (which she also wants to outlaw) is
relatively small for this type of firearm. The British, during our
Revolution, carried muskets in sixty-nine and seventy-two caliber.
The most popular rifles on both sides in the War Between the States
were fifty-eight caliber. But this is the kind of
“reasoning” you’d expect from somebody who’s
had a nine millimeter bullet through her brain.

Feinstein wants to ban “bump-stocks”
and trigger cranks, even though she and hers are mentally incapable
of understanding exactly what they are. I wonder: would this morally
bankrupt misrepresentative be happier if the guy in Las Vegas,
forbidden to acquire guns, had lobbed hand-grenades on the crowd
below from a surgical rubber slingshot?

Always tremblingly anxious—almost sexually
so, it would appear—to gain the approval of your
“progressive” left wing superiors and their unspeakably
vile collectivist hangers-on in the mass media, you are betraying and
abrogating my rights, and those of tens of millions of other
Americans, simply for the sake of appearances. As in almost all of
these cases, the perpetrator is thoroughly dead—either at his
own hands or those of some armed citizen—so your
“brilliant solution” is to punish all of those who
DIDN’T commit the crime? You are a grimy blot on the otherwise
shining escutcheon of the state of Texas, which is uniquely the
historic beneficiary of two, distinct, armed people’s
revolutions—in 1776 and 1835—against the illegitimate
exercise of power such as you are demonstrating now.

Who the hell do you think you are, anyway? I
looked you up. You’re just another cheesy ex-lawyer and former
judge from the most corrupt era in American judicial history. You and
your rotten contemporaries clearly have no use for the Constitution
or any of its provisions. You obviously believe, like most haters of
individuals, individualism, self-reliance, and self-defense, that you
know better than the people whose humble, abject, and obsequious
servant you’re supposed to be, what their rights are and what
they’re not.

Me, I’m just a novelist and editorial
writer with a relatively small (but discerning) readership. If you
want to understand who I really am—and I don’t actually
care if you do or not—read my first book The Probability
Broach. Forty years ago, I predicted the exhilarating
revolutionary times times we’re living in right now.

Nevertheless, I intend to make it my solemn duty
to identify any politician who stands the best chance running against
you, no matter who he or she happens to be, no matter what party he
or she represents, as long as he or she absolutely respects the
Constitution. Then, to the best of my modest ability, I will make
your attempt at reelection a national event, advertising your
opponent’s existence to the entire populace, whose rights
you’re cynically trampling. From across the country, I will
raise money for his or her campaign and support his or her candidacy
with my writings and by calling at least one radio talk show every
day. I will encourage hundreds of others to do the same. You and
those like you in the GOP brought this on yourselves; it is why, for
example, Alabamians seem to prefer somebody like Roy Moore to lowly
fake Republicans like you.

Together, I and my readers and those we can
persuade will relegate you to the used car lot where you obviously
belong.
